Here are the diagnostic files for both cases, EXA and XAA on OpenSUSE 11.0, using XX.Org X Server 1.5.2, libdrm 2.4.1 and the latest Mesa 7.2 patches. Regardless of what these files say,
- the overall performance using EXA is still horribly slow on my 865G compared to XAA
- starting X server and switching to KDE after logon flickers in EXA mode and shows for about half a second (plus minus) an uninitialized video buffer)
- switching on KDE Desktop Effects (Composite) crashes the X server with a backtrace leading to libdrm (happens already for some months even in libdrm 2.3, for both XAA and EXE acceleration).
Not really useful at the moment.

On the other hand, what people recommended in this thread, and ignoring the recommendations of Intel developers, using MigrationHeuristic "greedy" leads to a broken systray, where are no icons visible, but only some kind of "colored trash".
